English: Valedictory, about a Polish soldier in the Brittish Army in the 2:nd ww. The hero "Ludo" that probably was made up from several soldiers who died in this war, having in common the high death-rate. The book also attempts to view the history as it might appear from behind the iron curtain, as the result of the politics of the super powers På svenska: Slutstriden, om en polsk soldat som stred för engelsmännen i andra världskriget. Romanfiguren "Ludo" antagligen påhittad, sammansatt av kanske flera livsöden vars gemensamma nämnare var en hög dödsfrekvens. T.ex kunde 80 % av soldater dö i ett enda slag. Boken beskriver även det stormakts-spel som tillät "järnridån", och bakgrunden till de katastrofalt höga dödstalen.

This book is the story of those millions of Polish Americans whose quest for the American dream began in the blast furnaces, forges, quarries, and coal pits of the American Midwest-those whose dreams of and whose role in American life have, until now gone unrecognized.
